Ergonomic Solutions

“Our DNA has absolutely not changed in the past thirty years. Our environment has.” Dr. James A. Levine

Someone who spends several hours each day working at a computer may already know that they are at risk for a host of repetitive stress injuries (RSIs) related to monitor, keyboard and mouse use. But it may come as a surprise to learn that there are other dangers at the opposite end of the spectrum: the absence of body motion is known as static loading; and prolonged sitting–what some people are calling a “silent killer” and others refer to as “sitting disease”– could be responsible for the deaths of 300,000 people annually in the United States alone.

Learn About Ergonomics

Ergonomics is about designing for people, wherever they interact with products, systems or processes. We usually don’t notice good design (unless perhaps, it’s exceptional) because it gives us no cause to, but we do notice poor design. The emphasis within ergonomics is to ensure that designs complement the strengths and abilities of people and minimize the effects of their limitations, rather than forcing them to adapt. In achieving this aim, it becomes necessary to understand and design for the variability represented in the population, spanning such attributes as age, size, strength, cognitive ability, prior experience, cultural expectations and goals. Qualified ergonomists are the only recognized professionals to have competency in optimizing performance, safety and comfort.

The Ergonomic Equation = Posture + Movement + Rest = Comfortable Computing

This ergonomic equation begins with you. Find your zones by understanding the details of this simple, three-part concept. Computing comfort starts with paying attention to your body’s experience. With that as the basis, ergonomics can actually be simple. Indeed, just three basic elements define what we call the Ergonomic Equation. Added together they equal workplace wellness, which means less bodily strain and fewer repetitive stress injuries (RSI). Our Ergonomic products adapt technology to the physical needs of each individual. This creates a work environment that promotes wellness while improving productivity. Getting more done has never been easier—or more comfortable. Our human-centered designs place displays exactly where they’re needed. Toggling back and forth between documents and applications is reduced or eliminated with multi-display mounts, decreasing the time it takes to complete each task. Ergotron’s ergonomic solutions also create healthy computing environments—further complementing workflow efficiency. Design a space that fits your body. Green Torrent can assist you determine the right solution for healthier work space with our ergonomic Solutions.

The ergonomic mounts we propose are built to last so you won’t need to replace them anytime soon. Extremely durable, they undergo performance tests establishing the benchmark and exceeding the industry’s most rigid testing expectations—unlike competitive offerings, you can expect a product like the LX Arm to perform with the same ease and dependability in its 10,000th motion adjustment as in its first. Further, our products’ open-architecture design and adaptability mean that they will continue to be useful when new personnel use a workstation, or your computer hardware is upgraded, or you reconfigure a work space.
